A sad case of fratricide is reported
from Marlette. Not fratricide lin the
literal meaning of the word, it is true,
because the boy who took his brothers
life "didn't know the gun was loaded"
and playfully snapped cap upon it to
awaken his brother; but his ignorance
of the fact, and the stupidity of his
elders in allowing q loaded gun to be
within reach of mere boy, resulted in
the death of the young man. Unfor
tunately nothing can be done to compe.
owners of firearms to know whether OF
not they are loaded, but when a fatal
injury is the result of their ignorance,
there should be some punishment laid
down in the code which will have a
tendency to lessen the number of this
climinally careless class.

A funny incident with a moral)
happened in the New Hampshire
legislature the other day. A bill for
woman suffrage was before the house,
and had a strong chance for passing.
When the ballot was ordered, one of
the leading champions of the measure
arose and said he should have to vote
against it, explaining that before he left
home that morning his wife remarked
that IF he was fool enough to vote for
that bill, he needn't come home any
more" A roar of laughter passed over
the hall, and the bill was lost 147 to 81.
Moral-when women really want the
ballot they will Likely get it. At present,
the women of the land have enough to
do in caring for their homes and chill
dren, without wasting time on politics.

Homo Rnle is proven to actuallY exist

Home Rule is proven to actually exist
In one of Englands provinces, by an
article in the September Harper's on
the Isle of Man. DIR. Richard Wheatley
shows that this Island of Mona has long
enjoyed the right of controlling her own
affairs, after a fashion, and has been
gradually strengthening her independ-
ence, until now she makes her own
laws, administers her own justice, and
thrives in a well-arranged system of
self-government, with only governor
appointed by the Crown to represent
her fealty to the Queen. Some of the
Manx laws and customs retain their
ancient quietness, but the prosperity of
the Liliputian state furnishes an en-
couraging instance of what intelligent
trated by views of the chief cities of
Man, portrait of the governor, an
engraving of the legislative house OF
keys in session, and map of the island.
The effect of the various literary pro-
auctions upon the old and the young
should cause the prospective author to
pause upon the Threshold of his work
to ascertain if the labor will be bcne-
fetal or detrimental to the rising gen.
Grafton. Every book which finds its
way to print, be it the offspring of a
mighty genius or monied fop, has its
effect upon the mind of some one who
may be injured or benefited by its pc
rusal. In this day when all men are
authors the only safeguard lies in the
reader or parent exercising caution and
judgment in the selection of books for
themselves or those of whose future
they expect so much and in whose well
fare they are interested; remembering
that there is nothing more instructive
and beneficial than a good book, nor
anything so destructive and detrimen-
tai as bad one.

But how the place has changed! Across the
A tenement its swarmng bulk uprears-
Twas here weathered it for many day,
With Youth and Hope for friends, at Twenty

Who cares: the world may know it If it will

In the warm sunlight OF an April day,

To know the worst OF Fortunes frowns and
